Sorry I misunderstood you, and sorry I sounded so miffed. That was not my intention, but re-reading it, it sure came off that way, didn't it. LOL! And I'm supposed to be the easy-going one in this household! Sometimes the dogs have better sense!
I've discovered that in all urban legends and myths, there is usually a grain of truth. It may be that WD-40 was created as they say by those men, in that year, and was the 40th formulation they came up with. Perhaps, along the way, one of their 40 formulations contained fish oil. Obviously not the final one. But learning that bit of history sparked someone's fire, and the "legend" got started. I have used it for a lot of things. One of the best is the shower. Use it on the shower door, and rub it in well, and you'll never have water spots again. You have to clean and re-do every few months, but it works even on plastic doors. I've done it for decades! Go figure! And I've used it for a lot of other stuff that are on that list too. Regardless of what it's made of, it just works.
Oh, and Goo Gone is awesome stuff too. I've used that on stuff WD-40 can't touch. So it's not like I think WD-40 is the only product in the world. And no, I don't put it on my tile floors. I don't want the dogs licking it off their paws, even when I thought it was mostly fish oil. I'll choose what I want them to ingest!
OK, let's call a truce here. I'm so sorry if I "raised your fur" (like that phrase -- I'll use it!). And I promise to look at more than 1 website before I open my mouth again. Agreed?
Warmest Regards,
